Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'statement' (an expressive action or message) with 'piece' (an item): a piece that makes a statement, i.e. an item designed to attract attention. This modifier+noun pattern and the metaphorical use of 'statement' for expressive objects is common and should be comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Statement piece comes from the idea of 'making a statement' with clothes or jewelry: a single bold piece acts like a loud message about the wearer. That's why it means an item meant to attract attention.
